Hi Aarthy,
I usually use to add sugar powder in dough itself and after reading this method I tried it. I just love this way,. Instead of diwali snack it became evening snack at my home.
Dear Aarthy,
I have yet to try your recipes but they do all look so yummy. I will definitely try them as we love Indian food.
Thank you for sharing your recipes.
